    Are we putting who it's from on the SS? I've been in a couple where you do and a couple where you don't so I just wondered whether to put from xoxo on the tag or put nothing on it :D

    Didn't put my real name on mine - and that's all I'm saying :rotfl::rotfl:

    Flirtini - is there anyone who is asking what you want for xmas? That way you can have your hair-loving shampoo etc and not feel guilty ;):p


    have some IN's from the Avon lady :D
    Hair dye - Can't remember what colour but will be using it this week before we visit MIL & FIL so will review and give more details then :o It came with ...
    Free Avon Advance Techniques Shampoo and
    Free Avon Advance Techniques Conditioner.

    I've been cracking on with my wrapping this weekend - only have OH's to do - and no room under the tree :rotfl:

    Hope everyone's well :xmastree:
  • A rare makeup UU Natural colllection clear mascara. Didnt need to buy again there was a new one in the stash!

    I'm just checking in to report a purchase....I've treated myself to a Mitchem Deo stick as it was on offer for £2 in ASDA today. I'm going to bypass the naughty step though as I've just opened the last deo in my stash so consider this was necessary :D

    I've also used my Pantene sachets as sent by And but will not be buying as although I have very fine hair I found these products made it really greasy:(

    ****Sorry I keep missing you And to do your survey but I'm in every evening this week except Wednesday :D Looking forward to chatting :D

    I'll try and remember to ring tomorrow. Thanks for the quick review and your honesty! I'm using that one myself, I like it very much, and like you I also have very fine hair but it didn't go greasy. Some positive reports on the coloured range so far and also on the Normal/Thick.

    The vouchers I sent are valid for all the Pantene Pro-V range, if it goes on spec. offer before they run out they could prove useful for someone in the family with the right hair type.

    Small shuffle to the naughty step as I couldn't resist an Avon vanilla whipped body cream 200ml, so that's an IN. I love vanilla and it's a seasonal scent. I'm a sucker for anything Christmassy, but haven't seen an affordable cranberry BB- other than Poundland's 50 ml one.
    The other IN was a cinnamon and orange Avon Foot Works foot cream. I'd bought one but again this was a seasonal special, a gorgeous scent and I'd no other 'just for feet' foot cream left. Any cream does the job, tbh, but having used up so many OOD face and body creams the feet needed a little treat

    VALM I got an Osprey grey polished croc purse from TK Max for £20 back in March I think. I love it!

    UU
    Olay Age Defying Wet Cleansing Wipes: WIBA? Yes and I have some in stash. These are lovely, and they were the ones I got for a barginous (sp?) price in Costco a few months ago. They're really lovely but wouldn't pay the £6/pack they cost in Boots :eek: Onto a Boots cucumber pack from the glitch this year.

    Has everybody sent out their SS? Am I the only disorganised one? :o

    Yes those Osprey goodies are lush. We went into a different branch of TK Max at weekend and I saw my bag in purple as well. Think I'm glad i got it in red.

    My SS gift has been sent.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
